From zero QBs to two former Power 4 starters in a 24-hour period: UVA Football fans are happy just with that news.
I’m with you there, but I’m probably more juiced over the depth on the O and D lines.
The trenches are where the game is won.
A lot to like here.
This roster is shaping up to be an improvement over 2025, which is saying something.
